Check this MS article about "How to check GPO's GUID" and the look for this string using F3 in registry

Thanks Krzysztof but its not really what I'm looking for. Let me try to explain more clearly. If I create a new GPO, say for example restricting users from using usb keys so they can't transfer information. I know that the new GPO will have a GUID and that will be in Active Directory Container folder for GPOs.

Say for example I want to disable the GPO on a 1 client's PC, I can do this by editing the registry of the GPO on client,s machine.

From the Sysvol is there a way of checking the GPO to see where the GPO will target the registry on the client's PCs.

No, since some GPOs don't edit registry. What the best way to stop gpo from applying to Windows Users or Computers is to use GPO Security Filtering

So, basically you can't find out from SYSVOL exactly where in the registry that a GPO will be applied.

Yup, Darius is right. The only one way for that is Group Policy Security Filtering. Most of the GPO settings are not stored in the registry. Only settings from "Administrative Templates" modify clint's registry (and they could be located in appropriate hives).

What I want is to manually disable the GPO from a Client's PC so I don't have to do this in the Group Policy Filtering. I have done this before by editing the registry temporarily so a certain could use a USB key.

With registry based GPOs, I thought there was a way you could check the settings of the GPO to see where the GPO targets the registry. I was sure you could do this from the Sysvol folder.

Thank you for you help Krzysztof.

You're welcome :)
